What type of support do U-bolts belong to in industrial pipelines?
Thread Content
Dear experts, do U-bolts belong to sliding supports in pipe supports? Guiding bracket? What type of stent is it, then?
Why isn’t there anyone who can answer my questions? I’m worried
Wanting an answer in just over ten minutes, me. . . . :My personal understanding: It depends on how many nuts there are and where they are installed, I guess? 2 nuts, installed on the side of the support that is away from the pipe, should allow for a fairly tight fixation; however, compared to a support that is fixed in place by welding, it can still slide ； There are 4 nuts, installed at both ends of the support, those on the side closer to the pipeline serve as limits; the pipeline is not pressed tightly against the support. The nuts on the side farther away from the pipeline are tightened only to secure this U-bolt. Should this be considered a guiding support?

U-bolts are divided into Type I and Type II: Type I is used as a guide clamp, suitable for pipes that experience axial displacement, while Type II is used as a fixing clamp.
I’ve learned it, thanks to the user on floor 4!
